Enabling entity translation for a content type

With Entity Translation enabled for "Node", you can set the translation mode (Entity Translation or Content Translation) for each Content Type. To enable translation mode for a particular content type, you need to edit the content type and click on the 'Publishing options' tab and choose under Multilingual support:

The String translation module, part of the Internationalization (i18n) package, provides support for other modules to translate user-defined strings. It implements the i18n_strings function, which in Drupal 6 was commonly known as the tt function. The i18n_strings function is an API function that lets other modules (such as the Taxonomy translation and Menu translation submodules) manage translations of user-entered strings. Depending on which modules you have enabled that use this feature, different text groups will be available for translation.

In contrast to Drupal's standard localization system, which always translates from English, strings will be translated from the source language. By default the source language is the site's default language, so changing the default language could break these translations. You can set which language is used as the source language via Administration > Configuration > Regional and language > Multilingual settings > Strings.

The Taxonomy translation (i18n_taxonomy) module, part of the Internationalization (i18n) package, provides multiple options to translate taxonomy vocabularies and terms. For each vocabulary, you'll have to choose one of four different modes defining 'multilingual' behaviors for the vocabulary:

No multilingual options for terms. Only the vocabulary will be translatable. (default) [previously called None]

Localize. Terms are common for all languages, but their name and description may be localized. [previously called Localize terms]

Translate. Different terms will be allowed for each language and they can be translated. [previously called Per language terms]

Fixed Language. Terms will have a global language and they will only show up for pages in that language. [previously called Set language to vocabulary]

When a language is set for a vocabulary or term, only those that match the the current language will appear in taxonomy listings and when creating and editing nodes. If the language is set for a vocabulary, all the terms in that vocabulary will be automatically set to that language.
